Options:

46.67% reduction

33.33% reduction

50% increase

29% increase

Correct Answer:

33.33% reduction

Explanation:

In year 2016 ,

Percentage of increase in production in year 2016 compared to previous year

= \(\frac{628-600 }{600}\) × 100

= \(\frac{28 }{600}\) × 100

= 4.67%

In year 2017 ,

Percentage of increase in production in year 2017 compared to previous year

= \(\frac{750-628 }{628}\) × 100

= \(\frac{122 }{628}\) × 100

= 19.42%

In year 2018 ,

Percentage of decrease in production in year 2018 compared to previous year

= \(\frac{750-500 }{750}\) × 100

= \(\frac{250 }{750}\) × 100

= 33.33%

In year 2019 ,

Percentage of increase in production in year 2019 compared to previous year

= \(\frac{570-500 }{500}\) × 100

= \(\frac{70 }{500}\) × 100

= 14%

So , percentage of maximum increase or reduction in the production of the company in comparison to the previous year is 33.33%

Ans :- 33.33%
